I’m a motion designer and creative working in Film and Media, drawn to worlds that sit slightly outside reality. Clean, cinematic, dark, and quietly surreal. I gravitate toward imagery that carries weight: vast landscapes, symbolic elements, and characters placed against something much larger than themselves.

​

My work usually begins with atmosphere. Before anything else, I look for the tone, the colour world, and the shape language that define a project. Once that’s in place, everything else falls into alignment. I’m at my best in the early conceptual stages. Building mood boards, shaping direction, and organising visuals into something cohesive and intentional.

​

I’m less interested in realism and more in stylisation: modern fantasy, sci-fi, ritual, contrast, scale. I like designs that feel precise but still carry an emotional edge, unease, mystery, or the sense of stepping into a world that’s familiar but not quite ours.

​

Most days I work hands-on, designing, animating, or supervising, but I’m not limited to solo work. Over the years I’ve built a brilliant network of artist and I can scale up quickly by bringing in the right people. I’ve supervised teams, mentored juniors, and handled multi-deliverable workflows where consistency, quality control, and clear communication matter just as much as the creative.

​

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me travelling, photographing, or exploring places that feed into the same visual world. Landscapes, music, cultures and people that carry their own stories.

Do you have a project in mind? I'd love to hear from you.
